After a roller coaster pre-regional playoffs, (weather) everything is back in order. Prep Hoops will be providing full coverage at the 3A/4A state tournament next week, but in the meantime, here are some good regional matchups to be aware of!
3A-
Most anticipated game: Rainier Beach vs. Lincoln at Garfield HS, 2/22, 8:00pm
Rainier Beach enters the game as the favorite, but Lincoln is always good for a tough fight. The Seattle versus Tacoma games rarely let fans down. You can expect a lot of highlight dunks and big blocks. 2020 6’6 SG Marjon Beauchamp of Rainier Beach is the high sought after recruit in this game, but there is a lot more talent to go around. Lincoln features 2021 Julien and 2019 Jayden Simon, who are both top notch football recruits. Checking in at 190 and 290 pounds, they can be a load inside. Those two will need to dominate the inside for Lincoln to win this game. 2019 6’4 SF Mykel Campbell is also known for his high flying dunks and could very well matchup with Beauchamp, along with Julien Simon.
4A:
The 4A regionals have multiple highly anticipated games, so let’s highlight three of the top games:
1) Gonzaga Prep vs. Curtis at University HS, 2/23, 6:00pm
2019 6’8 PF Anton Watson (Gonzaga Signee/Gonzaga Prep HS) and 2019 6’4 SG Zack Paulsen (Seattle Pacific signee/Curtis HS) are two to watch.
2) Richland vs. Mt. Si at Issaquah HS, 2/22, 6:00pm
2019 6’4 SG Cole Northrup (Richland HS) and 2020s Tyler Patterson/Jabe Mullins (Mt. Si HS) are three to watch in this game.
3) Chiawana vs. Puyallup at Auburn Mountainview HS, 2/22, 6:00pm
2021 6’5 SG Kobe Young (Chiawana HS) and 2020 6’8 F Kendall Munson (Puyallup HS) are two to watch.
